A summary of medical developments in Breast Cancer and Cancer for the week ending 15 August 2014.

In Best of Breast w/e 8 August 2014 it was wasp venom that was being used to fight cancer, now it’s the turn of the bee. OK, it’s not the most earth-shaking medical development, but it makes a change from the usual chemotherapy drugs.trials. And speaking of which, Item 3 examines the fact that different chemotherapy regimes have different side effects, and raises the question that we should reconsider what choices are made in selecting treatments.

Item 2A is about a purported cure using salt injected directly into tumours. Please note that this is not what it seems to be: an easy cure for cancer. The refutation is in Item 2B, and highlights the need not to jump the gun or fall prey to so-called breakthroughs. And this salt cure has nothing to do with Dr. Simoncini’s controversial work on bicarbonate of soda and tumours.

In this case, the bees are annoyed by weak electric current pulses and sting a glass, from which the dried venom is then scraped. photo credit: keepingbee.org
